What’s new in Exchange Server 2010?
1. Elevation of Client Access Server (CAS) role• All client connections, regardless of protocol, are
with CAS servers• CAS servers rely on ADC for high-availability

What’s new in Exchange Server 2010?
• Elevation of Client Access Server (CAS) role• All client connections, regardless of protocol, are
with CAS servers• CAS servers rely on ADC for high-availability
• Microsoft recommends hardware load balancing for every Exchange 2010 deployment• ADC recommended over NLB• Includes multi-role Exchange server installations• Includes installations with Microsoft clustering services

The F5 Solution for Exchange Server 2010
• Prevent these pains– Dropped sessions re-authentication, reconnection– Failed network connections retries, delay– Slow response trapped users
• These capabilities– Health monitoring and intelligent load-balancing– Client persistence– Server off-load– Availability of servers, arrays and sites

Configuration - we have a template for that
![Page 10: F5 Solution for Microsoft Exchange 2010 James Hendergart Business Development Manager](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813c0c550346895da57779/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Availability
• Health monitoring– Port/protocol requests– Real-time in memory connection tables
• Intelligent load-balancing– BIG-IP always knows the most available server– Least connection method– See application template
• Cross site availability– Site level health– Prioritized decision tree

Persistence
• Also known as affinity, or sticky sessions, persistence can help enhance a user’s application experience
• Different types of persistence:– Source IP– Cookie– SSL ID
• Each Exchange client connection type has a recommended persistence method

Performance - SSL termination
• Reduce cost and overhead of managing certificates by moving them to BIG-IP
• BIG-IP is designed with dedicated chipset for encryption/decryption calculations
• Increase Exchange server CPU utilization and network connections per second

Multi-datacenter considerations
• Multiple datacenters provides additional options for redundancy and load-balancing– Load-balancing and Failover across locations– DNS management– Secure, accelerated application data synchronization– Seamless integration with systems management tools
• Key enabling functionality– BIG-IP LTM – GTM communication– iSessions– iControl– F5 PRO-Enabled Management Pack

Summary
• Highest availability through intelligent, hardware-based load-balancing of client connections to CAS servers
• Dramatically increased server processing power through off-loading of SSL, caching, compression and client connection isolation.
• F5 enables cross-site availability and resilience
• Pre-authenticate users in the perimeter network
• F5 devices can be controlled using PowerShell and Management Packs
